Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership
On July 14, 2003 and various dates thereafter (collectively, the Petition Date), Mirant Corporation (Mirant) and 83 of its direct and indirect subsidiaries in the United States (collectively, the Debtors) filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division (the Bankruptcy Court) voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (as amended, the Bankruptcy Code), 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1330 (Chapter 11), commencing the case In re Mirant Corporation et al., Case No. 03-46590 (DML). Since the Petition Date, the Mirant Debtors have continued to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The Office of the United States Trustee appointed the Committee of Unsecured Creditors for Mirant (the Corp. Committee) and the Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Mirant Americas Generation, LLC (the MAG Committee). The Office of the United States Trustee also established a Committee of Equity Security Holders of Mirant (the Equity Committee). Pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Office of the United States Trustee appointed William K. Snyder as the examiner in these Chapter 11 Cases.
On December 9, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (Docket No. 12569) (the Confirmation Order) approving and confirming the Amended and Restated Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Mirant Corporation and its Affiliated Debtors (the Plan), as attached to the Confirmation Order. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. The effective date of the Plan is anticipated to be on or about January 3, 2005; however, the Debtors can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective. It is also possible that additional technical amendments could be made to the Plan prior to effectiveness. A copy of the Confirmation Order, to which the Plan is attached as Exhibit 1, is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan. This summary only highlights certain provisions of the Plan and is not intended to be a complete description of, or a substitute for, a full and complete reading of the Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan.
A. Summary of the Plan of Reorganization
ELEMENTS OF THE PLAN
The Plan includes the following key elements:
the Debtors business will continue to be operated in substantially its current form, subject to certain internal structural changes;
the consolidated business will have approximately $4,433,000,000 of debt (as compared to approximately $9,100,000,000 of debt at the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases), comprised of (1) $1,039,000,000 of debt obligations associated with non-debtor international subsidiaries of Mirant; (2) $144,000,000 of miscellaneous domestic indebtedness; (3) $1,700,000,000 of reinstated debt at Mirant Americas Generation, LLC (MAG); and (4) $1,550,000,000 of new debt issued by Mirant North America, LLC, a newly formed intermediate holding company under MAG (Mirant North America, which is referred to in the Plan as New MAG Holdco). The foregoing amounts exclude (a) the obligations of Mirant Mid-Atlantic, LLC (MIRMA) under the lease-financing
transactions covering two generating facilities in Maryland, and (b) any amounts drawn on a new $800,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility that is part of the Exit Facility being provided to Mirant North America under the Plan;
in settlement of the pre-petition intercompany claims and potential causes of action arising from the complex historical relationships between and among the Debtors, (1) the Estates of Mirant and all of its subsidiaries that filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 (excluding MAG and its Debtor-subsidiaries) (collectively, the Mirant Debtors) will be treated as comprising a single estate, (a) eliminating any distributions under the Plan in respect of pre-petition intercompany claims between and among the Mirant Debtors, and (b) limiting a creditor holding a base claim against a Mirant Debtor and a guarantee of such base claim from another Mirant Debtor to a single recovery thereon; (2) the Estates of MAG and its subsidiaries who filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 (collectively, the MAG Debtors), excluding any MAG Debtors that remain in bankruptcy, will be treated as a single estate, eliminating intercompany claim distributions and multiple recoveries on guarantee claims, as described in (a) and (b) above with respect to the Mirant Debtors; and (3) all claims and actions between the Mirant Debtors and the MAG Debtors (other than the Intercompany Claims held by or against the Excluded Debtors (defined and described below)) will be released;
as a part of the consideration to be paid to certain holders of Claims and Equity Interests, the following debt, equity and rights will be issued under the Plan: shares of common stock to be issued or reserved for issuance by New Mirant (New Mirant Common Stock), warrants issued to the holders of Allowed Mirant Debtor Class 5 Equity Interests to purchase up to an additional 10% of the New Mirant Common Stock (the New Mirant Series A Warrants), warrants issued to holders of the Subordinated Notes to purchase up to an additional 5% of the New Mirant Common Stock (the New Mirant Series B Warrants, and together with the New Mirant Series A Warrants, the New Mirant Warrants), MAI Series A Preferred Shares, MAI Series B Preferred Shares and New MAG Holdco Notes.
Mirant shall contribute (or cause to be contributed) additional value to MAG, including (1) the transfer of certain assets and liabilities of the trading and marketing business to Mirant North America in return for $250,000,000 in Cash; (2) the transfer of Mirant Potomac River, LLC to Mirant Chalk Point, LLC (Mirant Chalk Point) and the transfer of Mirant Peaker, LLC (Mirant Peaker) to MIRMA and the subsequent merger of Mirant Peaker into Mirant Chalk Point, (3) the transfer of Mirant Zeeland, LLC to Mirant North America, and (4) commitments to make capital contributions: (a) through the issuance by Mirant Americas, Inc. (MAI) of up to $265,000,000 of MAI Series A Preferred Shares redeemable by MIRMA to fund environmental capital expenditures and (b) through the issuance by MAI of $150,000,000 of MAI Series B Preferred Shares redeemable by MAG to support the refinancing of its notes due 2011;
Mirant Bowline, LLC, Mirant New York, Inc., Mirant Lovett, LLC, Mirant NY-Gen, LLC and Hudson Valley Gas Corporation (the Excluded Debtors) will remain in Chapter 11 until certain litigation matters are resolved by settlement or through litigation and, accordingly, the Confirmation Hearing with respect to the Plan is deemed to exclude the Excluded Debtors from the MAG Debtors and the Confirmation Hearing with respect to such MAG Debtors is adjourned until further notice or order of the Bankruptcy Court;
the MIRMA leveraged leases will be assumed in accordance with the Plan and certain interpretations of the Bankruptcy Court;
substantially all of the Assets of Mirant will be transferred to New Mirant, which will serve as the corporate parent of the Debtors business enterprise on and after the effective date of the Plan (the Effective Date) and which shall have no successor liability for any unassumed obligations of Mirant; similarly, the trading and marketing business of the Trading Debtors shall be transferred to Mirant Energy Trading, LLC (MET), which shall have no successor liability for any unassumed obligations of the Trading Debtors; and
after the transfers of Assets described above, Mirant and the Trading Debtors will be transferred to a trust created under the Plan (the Plan Trust) and any and all non-dischargeable obligations or claims neither treated nor provided for under the Plan, and the BEWAG Contract, will ride through the Plan and the Chapter 11 Cases. Such claims and obligations will remain contingent liabilities of Mirant and/or the Trading Debtors which will each be owned by the Plan Trust.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN
Mirant will undertake three proposed transactions in order to implement the Plan. Each of these transactions will be comprised of a number of individual steps. The following is a summary of the three transactions:
1. The Intercompany Debt Restructuring Transaction
Certain pre-petition Intercompany Claims (with the exception of Intercompany Claims held or owned by Debtors remaining in Chapter 11) will be resolved, forgiven, or satisfied pursuant to the Plan. The intercompany debt restructuring transaction set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.3 of the Plan and in Article VIII of the Plan will include steps that are taken both apart from and concurrent with the consummation of a series of transactions in connection with the implementation of the Plan (the Fresh Structure Transaction).
2. The Fresh Structure Transaction
To facilitate the financing of the restructuring, increase efficiencies and simplify the corporate structure of the Company, the transactions contemplated by the Plan will create additional public registrants of debt and equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
A. The four SEC registrants will include: (i) Newco 2005 Corporation (New Mirant), which will change its name to Mirant Corporation upon emergence; (ii) MAG; (iii) MIRMA; and (iv) Mirant North America.
B. Mirant North America will be formed through the following actions: (i) Mirant California Investments, Inc. will convert into a limited liability company and its name will be changed to Mirant North America, LLC; (ii) each of Mirant New England, Inc. and Mirant Texas Investments, Inc. will be merged with and into
Mirant North America; and (iii) various Assets, including all of the interests in Mirant Peaker, LLC, Mirant Potomac River, LLC, and Mirant Zeeland, LLC will be contributed directly or indirectly to Mirant North America.
C. The following entities will be eliminated or converted into entities that are disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes to simplify Mirants organizational structure, maximize value, and preserve tax attributes: (i) Mirant Texas Management, Inc.; (ii) Mirant Sugar Creek Ventures, Inc.; (iii) Mirant Sugar Creek Holdings, Inc.; (iv) Mirant Central Texas LP; (v) Mirant Parker LLC; (vi) Mirant Wichita Falls Investments, Inc.; (vii) Mirant Wichita Falls Management, Inc.; (viii) Mirant Michigan Investments, Inc.; (ix) Mirant D.C. O&M, LLC; (x) Mirant Mid-Atlantic Services, LLC; (xi) Mirant Capital Management, LLC; (xii) Mirant Danville, LLC; (xiii) Mirant Gastonia, LLC; (xiv) Mirant Americas Development, Inc.; (xv) Mirant Americas Energy Marketing Investments, Inc.; (xvi) Mirant Americas Production Company; (xvii) Mirant Investments Europe UK, Inc.; (xviii) Mirant Holdings Europe UK, Inc.; and (xix) Mirant Peaker, LLC.
3. The Bankruptcy Trust Formation Transaction
Steps will be undertaken to segregate certain assets (including ownership interests in certain entities) and unresolved claims for transfer to the Plan Trust, in which one or more Qualified Charities (defined and described in the Plan Trust) as determined by the trustees, will own the beneficial interests. Concurrent with the implementation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan, all shares of Mirant stock will be cancelled, and one new share of Mirant stock will be issued to the Plan Trust. The Plan Trust, as sole shareholder of Mirant, will cause Mirant to convert into a limited liability company promptly after emergence.

EQUITY OWNERSHIP OF NEW MIRANT
Assuming that all Claims and all Equity Interests entitled to receive New Mirant Common Stock under the Plan are Allowed on the Effective Date and that all shares of New Mirant Common Stock issued under the Plan are issued on the Effective Date, the common ownership of New Mirant on the Effective Date would be as follows:
